Margaret Gauley was born in Ashfield Township, Huron County, Ontario
on August 27, 1886, the daughter of Abram Gauley and Sarah Henderson.
She married George Whitfield Bachelder in 1904 in London, Ontario.
She was the mother of ten children and lived in London, Ontario; Bashaw,
Alberta; Parent, P.Q.; Vancouver, B.C.; La Tuque, P.Q.;
Dunnville, Ontario; Bronte, Ontario; and Milton, Ontario. She
died on September 4, 1965.

They farmed near Lucknow, Ont. I think the children were born there
(check with vital statistics) Later moved into Goderich. Grampa G. was
a cooper, had learned his trade in Skye, where he came from.

One day Grampa G. was trying to put a hayrack on a wagon,- Gramma G.
saw this and rushed out to give a hand. She lifted too much and strained
her heart. She collapsed. Was sick a lot after that, spent mst of her time
in bed-- one day she died. The children (Mamma was 9 or 10 at the time)
Uncle Isaac was 14. They were farmed out among relatives. Mamma went to
an Aunt & Uncle in London who had a small tailor shop. I don’t have
too much about Grampa Gauley except that he was out in a small boat on
Lake Huron soon after losing Gramma. He evidently fell in or had a heart
attack and died in the lake. He was 60 years old. Could be buried in a
cemetery in Goderich.Gramma Gauley had some brothers. One lived in Detroit,- Peter Henderson.
Mamma and Aunt Lizzie went to the World’s Fair with him. She said he was
very tall and had red hair.
